for what it can do #redlang is still this tiny binary. amazing

I am following the language for years and I think it gets way too little attention, have a look and play with it.

v0.6.6 of my personal favourite #redlang #programming language is out - one step closer to a long-awaited 1.0 release. This time, the memory management model got a lot of love!

#programming
languages I am most interested in, ranked low-high in terms what I think of them:

5. Go #golang
4. Zig #ziglang
3. Odin #odinlang
2. Rebol #rebol
1. Red #redlang

Actually, quite nice and detailed overview, even if you might not necessarily agree with the author on some points.

Neither #redlang nor #rebol before it had any real hype machines promoting them, so it is rather unlikely that you have heard of those unique #programming languages. But they have their loyal community and are even used in production by those brave enough to dive in.

А вот подъехал и #tui для #redlang (https://www.red-lang.org/). Давно хотел потыкать палочкой в #rebol, появился кандидат для этого.

В целом - пока есть желание вообще посмотреть на что способен Red/System, узнать на сколько оно пригодно для написание прикладного и системного софта. Хочется какой-то странной замены pure #C.

Зачем? Всё ещё в стадии экспериментов по поводу VM для современного диалекта #refal. Но пока это только мысли
